Bruce Willis’ Daughter Called ‘Fat’ after Gaining Weight — 'Papa' Raised Her to Be Confident

• Hollywood childhood resulted in Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's youngest daughter, Tallulah, struggling with self-starvation since the age of 13.
• Tallulah gained weight to be healthy and her Papa played a great role in it.
• Recently, Tallulah faced bullying from haters after she gained weight, but she has emerged stronger than ever.

On February 3, 1994, one of Hollywood's most iconic couples, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, were blessed with their youngest daughter, Tallulah Belle. The celebrated parents welcomed Tallulah into their family, joining her older sisters Rumer Glenn and Scout LaRue, who were five and two years old, respectively, at the time of her arrival. It was a joyous Saturday, and both mother and daughter were in good health after a successful labor.

Little Tallulah and her sisters spent their childhood at a ranch in Idaho and didn't even realize their parents' fame. Their dad and mom made every effort to show them how fortunate they were.

At home, Bruce sported cozy sweatpants while occasionally donning a grumpy demeanor. However, in the eyes of his precious little girl, Tallulah, he transforms into her "cute little Papa," rather than the larger-than-life action star the world knows him as.

However, things changed when the family moved to Los Angeles, and Tallulah started third grade. At the age of 11, the girl began to question whether she deserved the privileges she had grown up with.

When she was 13, and social media had not yet become popular in people's lives, she discovered her photos online and couldn't help but cry after reading users' comments about her. The girl started criticizing what nature had bestowed upon her and seeking reassurance in her perceived unattractiveness. Her words were tinged with deep sadness and profound low self-esteem when she thought to herself:

“I am a hideous, disgusting-looking person…I'm a really unattractive human being."

Sadly, in high school, Tallulah began starving herself, and during college, her depression deepened, leading to sleepless nights and withdrawal from people. She confessed to feeling "sad and so unhappy."

Bruce's Devotion to His Daughters and Her Path to a Happy Life

Luckily, Tallulah had her beautiful family. Her older sister, Scout, took on the responsibility and encouraged her to accept treatment in the hospital. With the unshakable support from her family, she gradually began to feel happier as she approached her 20s.

Her dad, Bruce Willis, might have played a significant role in Tallulah's journey to happiness and health. His unwavering devotion to fatherhood placed his daughters at the forefront of his life. “Being a good father is much more important to me than how my movie does this weekend," the actor emphasized during an interview.

And his actions prove it. Once, while the "Die Hard" star was working far away from home filming in Rome, his little Tallulah, who was between three and four years old at the time, called him. "Daddy, please come home!" he heard over the phone.

It wasn't hard to guess what the devoted father did. He took the first plane and spent the whole weekend with Tallulah and the rest of his family before returning to Rome on the following Monday.

In 2000, the “Unbreakable” actor shared that he was completely involved in his children's school life, despite often being busy with work. He helped them with math and mentioned with pride that he was "actually OK with it." Additionally, he expressed delight in an interview, stating that he was glad his kids' school was parent-friendly.

Surely, the most important thing that the “Pulp Fiction” star, along with his then-wife Demi Moore, did for their youngest child, was to teach her to be confident and have the ability to stand by herself. Even in the face of an unexpected separation in 1998 followed by a divorce two years later, they managed to maintain a united front for the sake of their beloved daughters, including Tallulah. Bruce shared:

“Demi and I have tried to raise them to have their own voice and their own point of view. We try to help them have as much self-esteem as they can."

In December 2022, Tallulah, who was already 28, shared a photo with her dad and mom, where they all smiled, and professed her love for them, saying, "I love my parents and my family - I do, I do, I do!". And on her 29th birthday in February 2023, she shared a photo with her older sister Scout, who had once encouraged her to seek treatment. She candidly confessed that she "honestly" loves herself and considers it a "gift."

Bruce's Daughter Called 'Fat' After Healing

Recently, Tallulah shared her experience of receiving hurtful comments online and emphasized the importance of sharing them. Haters bombarded her with messages, claiming she looked "fat" after gaining some weight. They also added that it had happened "again" with her and attached mocking emojis to their messages.

But she expressed her gratitude that these hurtful words no longer affect her well-being. The 29-year-old also emphasized her love for her fans and her own self-worth.

Proud mother Demi Moore commented on her post, advising Tallulah to continue being herself and to keep shining. Emotionally, Scout also expressed support for her younger sister, stating that she feels immensely proud of the hard work Tallulah has put in to find happiness and health. Scout mentioned how Tallulah now demonstrates grace and growth every single day.

Dad Bruce Willis would also be very proud of Tallulah. During an interview, when asked if he still learns something from his grown-up daughters, he proudly responded that he and his ex-wife raised their daughters, including Tallulah, to be "independent-minded and spirited," and they have indeed become so. He also expressed his appreciation for their ability to engage in meaningful conversations. The Hollywood icon couldn't contain his pride, declaring:

“As a father, it’s so gratifying to see that they’ve become very confident and engaging young women.”

Tallulah's transformation is a powerful testament to her family's unwavering support and love, including her devoted father, Bruce Willis. Despite the challenges imposed by her Hollywood upbringing, she displayed remarkable strength in overcoming her insecurities. Confronting online bullying, Tallulah now underscores the significance of self-love. Her journey serves as an inspiration!
